Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. 51mm Bronze ‘Evil Fate’ Medal by Conrad Heinrich Kuechler, depicting their beheading on January 21, 1793. Reverse depicts Executioner Samson displaying the King’s head before the guillotine in Place de la Revolution- a fairly believable rendition of a square filled with people cheering with revolutionary fervor, while holding their finely-detailed Republican flags. This sympathetic royalist medal was produced on the behalf of the Bourbon monarchy in one of Britain’s private mints, Matthew Boulton’s Soho Manufactory. It instead laments the passing of the monarchs, condemning the execution Choice chocolate-brown toned Prooflike fields with cameo contrast. Several die breaks attest to the difficulty in striking this large medal- perhaps few were produced subsequently. Probably one of the finest examples available, although we could not find them listed in the NGC census.
